Chinese New Year of Ox 2009



Gong Xi Fa Cai! Wish everyone is in good health because with health, wealth is possible. This is especially to a close friend who is nursing himself after an operation.

This year, CNY was spent in both my place and wife's place. My place is PJ, her place is Sarikei. Many may have not heard of this place. It is a town located 1.5 hrs road journey from Sibu, Sarawak.

A quick preview of the town.


> Symbolic Pineapple & Clock Tower


> Bus Station & Market


> Jetty


> Main Road


> "Da Jia Hao" Barber


> Clever Road sign "Turn left when exit is clear"

One way to introduce Sarikei is to show the different kinds of food not familiar to me and many in the Peninsular. Below are the typical CNY must-haves:


> Layer cake


> Chicken soup Mee sua (Vermicelli) with Red wine


> Pek Kueh (White Rice cake)


> Duck in Soy sauce
